Kim Gayoung’s daily routine was simple.

Hunting monsters all day long.

She no longer needed direct orders from Kim Jaehyun—she could now communicate with Kellikan well enough to maneuver across Gangseo-gu, Bucheon, and Incheon while eliminating monsters.

And she wasn’t alone.

A total of 17 retainers, including Moon Byungho, Kang Deoksoo, and Kim Gun, along with 37 hunting teams, were actively engaged in the mass eradication of monsters.

Regions that had been far from the Ice Dragon’s path had only suffered heavy snowfall.

Unlike the completely frozen central zones, these areas still had a high monster survival rate.

The only solution—was to take them down manually.

But that also meant—

There were survivors.

"What’s that?"

Leveling up meant getting stronger.

That was obvious.

However, how one’s abilities grew varied from person to person.

Moon Byungho, who had Teleportation and Invisibility, saw his mental strength skyrocket.

Oh Wonjoo and Ha Donggeon experienced extreme physical enhancement.

And for Kim Gayoung—

"Khan, take us down. Over there, where the orcs are."

Among an archer’s most crucial abilities, her dynamic vision had improved the most.

Now, her sight had far surpassed that of a human—

Even eagles and hawks couldn’t compare.

That’s why—

From hundreds of meters above, she could spot the orcs carrying off humans.

Screeeech—!

Kellikan acknowledged her command with a nod and folded his wings.

Gravity dragged them down, sending them plummeting toward the ground.

FWOOOOOSH—!!!

As the winds roared past, Kim Gayoung’s hair whipped wildly.

Her eyes, however—

Glowed with predatory focus.

Her left fist extended forward, aiming at her targets.

A brilliant light flared from her palm—

Shaping itself into the form of a bow.

WHIRRR—

Her right hand pulled back—@@novelbin@@

The moment she let go—

ZIING—!

A single arrow of light streaked toward the orcs.
